Has anyone tried this with sculpty or apoxie sculpt?

I was looking though a cake decoration book (actually a few) and I was looking at how they show you can do flowers with some of the frosting tips. I was wondering if the same idea could be used with sculpty or apoxie sculpt or any other kind of clay for that matter. I know a lot of people do it by hand but it was an interesting idea and I've seen some people use cookie cutters at least with sculpty.

I would think you'd need something more pliable and almost liquid to make that work... like the consistency of frosting

Sculpy can be extruded, but you need a heavy duty clay gun for it and it's very hard on the hands; it will not extrude like frosting, too thick.  Apoxie sclupt is probably too stiff as well, if it's anything like the epoxy clays I've used in the past.

Sculpy can be piped when mixed with Liquid Sculpey but it is very sticky and extremely difficult to work with. I wouldn't recommend it (just from experience xD )


I've seen people use air dry clay mixed with water as "icing" but I've never tried it. Could be interesting to look into

Lady Littlefox used to make customs a long time ago that had a combination of sculpted and piped decorations on them.  I'm not sure what she used for the material that was piped though.  I've seen one of them in person and the piped parts definitely looked hard and clay like.  With how it was used, it would also have had to have been air dry.

As a professional cake decorator, my opinion is that Apoxie would not work  its just too thick to be forced through the tube. The bag would burst first. You would need something much thinner, but still stiff enough to Stan on its own once piped. I just don't know what that material is. Maybe a foam type sculpy?

I'd use the decoden icing or regular silicone caulk from the hardware store. It has to dry for a few days though.
